Problem With Randys Recipe... Plz Help
hi all i really need some help ill start by saying i used to use randys recipe back when i first started the hobby but AT THE TIME i found it really hard and my corals where not doing any good just because i was doseing wrong and other things more or less i had to much on my plate so i stopped and just started using reef foundation ABC+ ca/sr/kh/mg/k/br powder supplement for about 5 or 6 mouths i run it at 465 cal with this supplement you just test cal to work out your dose, this stuff worked really really well corals loved it there colour was awesome and they grow so fast but what i found is that the cal would be allways spot on but as for mag and alk they was allways to low, after using the supplement for that time i got good with testing and dosing and i though i would fine turn them by using randys again thinking i would be able to do better this time but after using it for over a mouth now i have found the my xenia corals are dying and my sps corals are losing colour and all corals just not looking right i just dont no what im doing wrong im doing everything randys recipe tells me too do but its not working i have one though is i am running my levels to high for randys recipe or i made them come up to fast? i am now running my tank at: 35 satinity ppm, alk/dkh is 12.6/meq/l is 4.5, cal is 465 mg/l, mg/mg/l is 1390 now i am running at theses levels because that what my red sea hand book says to keep it at but what i was thinking theses levels are for red sea supplements so maybe running randys at this is no good?? any help on this would be so great and i would be so thank full :)
